We were just hanging out and getting to learn about each other. But I think trust was a really big thing. Patti [Smith] is a good friend, somebody I can talk to.

Because the filming process was so organic and there was no script, the film [Dream of Life] was literally telling us what it wanted to be in the editing room.

I just wanted to be Patti's [Smith] messenger and get her word out there.

Sometimes my fashion pictures can look a little bit like documentary style pictures. So having a camera in my hand was normal.

For me, moving from photography to film was very easy.

Fashion has also been a great outlet, and I'd like to do more fashion photography in the future. I also photograph a lot of artists.

Fashion's been really good to me. It financed Patti Smith: Dream of Life.

I didn't do well in high school, but I took photography, and I loved being able to capture moments.

Many of my family members are teachers in the arts, and I picked up the camera years ago, in high school.

I never went to film school, so I just sort of learned on my own.

Patti [Smith] was my experiment, to be honest. And the film is what we got out of it. At the end of the day, I learned a lot about how to make a film.

That's what makes a tragedy a tragedy. There's no rhyme or reason to it, only heartbreak. The only thing you can do when the ground stops shaking and the waters recede is try to save whoever's left.

Pay no attention to haters, attention is what they crave.

Each day we are becoming a creature of splendid glory or one of unthinkable horror.

At 3 years old, I was telling people that I was going to be a star. I never had a plan B. And I've never compromised my integrity to get what I have.

Its's just that... this is the realest thing I've had in a long time and it scares me a bit.

I do not judge, I only chronicle.

I've done comedy most of my career, which I love, but I wanted to expand.

All the other industries will receive warmth and sustenance from khadi industry.

For such people the consummate act of moral clarity was a lynching or a suicide bombing, a fatwa or a pogrom. And they were ascendant now, rising like dark stars over a terminal landscape .
